HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry T ype Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing
environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might
accumulate in ordinary horizontal pipe nipples.
The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry T ype Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinkler utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive
element. This provides sprinkler operation approximately six times
faster than ordinary sprinklers. At the ampule's rated temperature,
the sprinkler opens releasing the bulb seat, causing the inner tube
assembly to move, allowing the spring assembly to pivot alongside
the inner tube. At this time, water fl ows through the sprinkler and is
distributed by the defl ector, in an approved discharge pattern. It can be
installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are specifi ed but offers the
additional feature of greatly increased safety to life. Quick Response
Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction.
The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly
is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely
measured amount of fl uid. When heat is absorbed, the liquid within
the bulb expands increasing the internal pressure. At the prescribed
temperature the internal pressure within the ampule exceeds the
strength of the glass causing the glass to shatter. This results in water
discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION DATA
Globe GL Series Dry Pendent Sprinklers should be
installed in accordance with the requirements set
forth in NFPA 13. These sprinklers are to be installed
using a pipe wrench applied to the outer tube. When
this is not possible, the proper sprinkler head wrench
may be used with extreme care for lengths up to
approximately 18”. Excessive force may distort the
frame thus destroying the unit.
When installed in a wet system extending into a
freezing area see chart on Dry Caution Sheet for
minimum exposed barrel length to prevent ice
plugs. Please refer to our Dry Caution Sheet for further
important installation data.
